    This appears to be similar to the original hardlink on Fedora/RHEL/etc. Commented Jun 21, 2012 at 8:43

    hardlink is now a native binary in many Linux package systems (since ~2014) and extremely fast. For 1,2M files (320GB), it just took 200 seconds (linking roughly 10% of the files). Commented Feb 5, 2017 at 19:13

    FWIW, the above hardlink was created by Julian Andres Klode while the Fedora hardlink was created by Jakub Jelinek (source: pagure.io/hardlink - Fedora package name: hardlink) Commented Jan 4, 2019 at 17:52
